Lesson for August 15: Exodus
16:11-18; 17:3-6.
f* ! 4 An T.-'vt \f ittHg.il- i* i i
uuiucu it'Ai. uu n O.i 1.
It has been said that an army
advances on its stomach. Either
supply lines must be maintain'd
or the army must live on the
country, With no supply lines, i
in a barren country, and food
running low, the Israelites resum-
ed their complaints against
Moses—this time for leading ;
them out to die of hunger. And |
God gave them the making of
quail on toast.
As God had employed the east
wind ut the sea, He used the
spring migration of quails to feed
His people. But they ever re-
garded the manna as a miracu-
lous gift direct from God. It was
so unfamiliar that the name they
gave it is the Hebrew inquiry,
"What is it7” And as a special
gift, the manna ceased when the
people crossed the Jordan.
Resembling a small seed, it
was ground and made into
bread. Only a day’s supply could
be gathered, it would spoil if
hoarded. Thus were the people
taught, as we should be, to use
Cod’s gifts for the day and trust
His providence for the morrow.
Again the Israelites complained
—they had no water. Moses lost
patience—told God the people
were almost ready to stone him. j
But God was still patient and
bade Moses Strike the rock.
As God provided for a mur-1
muring people in training them;
for their great destiny. He will'
surely provide for those who are 1
conformed to His will and who I
daily bless the Hand that feeds
them. Above all, let us daily
partake of Jesus as the Bread
from heaven, the Manna of God
to the soul.

has been stationed in the desert

Michael Angelo said, “Genius
is the capacity for taking infi-
nite pains.’ But the paradox-
loving Bernard Shaw said, “Gen-
ius is the infinite capacity for
giving pain. ’ And Edison de-
clared, “Genius is 10 per cent in-
spiration and 90 per cent perspi-
ration.”
Found this in a Texas home
town weekly:
“Do you think the radio .vill
ever take the place of newspa-
pers?”
“No, for one thing, you can’t
swat flies with a radio.”
San Angelo is not surpassed by
, any Texas city in its pronounced
l personality. Your columnist has
j visited San Angelo nearly 50
times hut I am always thrilled
anew by the sight of the big,
white hats, the sound of the boot
heels on the concrete and the feel
of the brisk breeze sweeping
across the wide main street. The
city and its environs arc richly
endowed with scenery—two
mountains, three rivers and
Blondy Cross, the sports writer.
If you are an old-time Texas
League fan, you remember “Bad
News” Jim Galloway, who used
to bust fences when he was star-
ring with Dallas and Wichita
Falls. I see him every once in a
: while—he has an important po-
| sition with one of the state de-
partments. Everybody thinks he
got his nickname from the fact
that when he came to hat, it was
“bad news” for the pitcher. But
a friend says it really started be-
fore Galloway ever began play-
ing baseball.
He had a job away from home
(according to the story) and, be-
ing homesick, he had a friend to
send him a telegram that one of
the folks back home was sick.
His employer let him off; so,
later, Jim decided to try it again
and again it worked. But he
i tried it so many times that, no
( mattei why he went into the of-
| fice, the “boss” would look up
land say, “What’s the had news,
Jim, this time?”
Which was your favorite kind
of candy when you were a lad: a
“wine-ball” or a ‘ jaw-breaker?”
Let me hasten to add for the ben-
efit of the uninitiate that there
was no wine in the former (it de-
rived its name from the trans-
parent red color) and that the
latter actually broke no jaws hut
would have if you had tried to
chew it instead of letting it dis-
solve in ymir mouth— a process
which took only about two hours. |

• “I am surrounded by a hundred German
tanks. I am destroying them one by one.”
• Thus wrote General Henri Honore Giraud,
as the French nation crumbled before the on-
slaught of the once mighty German army in
1940. Giraud was captured and, as is his
custom, he escaped. The tall French General
has become famous for his numerous escapes
from the Germans and for his intense hatred
of France’s enemies.
• In World War 1, as a captain, he was cap-
tured and recaptured before he managed to
return to France.
• As commander in chief of 300,000 French
troops in Africa and co-president of the
French committee on national liberation,
Giraud appears to be a clear headed French
hero whose main objective is to rout the Axis.
During a recent visit to America he told a
press conference that:
• ”1 can give you the pledge that France
will be at your side to liberate the Pacific
from Japanese domination even as she will
remain with you to build a peace that will
be lasting and just but also realistic.”
